I recently purchased this compressor for my home garage, as I found myself needing one after moving to a house with a 3-car garage in the back. Despite never owning one before, I was pleasantly surprised by its usefulness. The setup was straightforward, and I was impressed by its condition upon arrival, despite hearing mixed reviews. While it is a bit noisy, which is to be expected, the overall performance outweighs this minor inconvenience. The price, especially considering the included extras, was reasonable, and it doesn't take up much space in my garage. I've used it a couple of times already and plan to use it again for bleeding my brake system. If you're looking for an affordable compressor that gets the job done without breaking the bank, I would definitely recommend this one.

Before I had purchased this compressor, I never owned one or had the need for one.. Since I'm now in a home with a 3 car garage in the back along with the 2 attached to my home.. I thought it would be a good time to purchase one for when a time it is need.. I have used it twice so far, and plan on using it again to bleed my brake system on 2 of my cars.. I was impressed with the condition it came in, as I have read a lot of negative reviews. Plus it was very simple to set up and use.. It is a little noisy, but what compressor is not. The price with all the extras was not bad at all, and does not take up any room in my garage.. if you want a inexpensive one to use in your home, and it will not break the bank, then I highly recommend this.

After nearly 4 years of continuous use, I am pleased to confirm that this product is truly exceptional. It has consistently met my expectations, especially when using it with pneumatic nail guns.

As I mentioned in previous reviews, I recently downsized and ended having an online auction company come into my house and wiped me out of so many tools that I wasn't ready to part with. Unfortunately, on the day they came to categorize my stuff, I was sick in bed with a high fever and was unable to oversee what they ended up auctioning off. Two of the items that were auctioned off were both of my air compressors. I find air compressors great to have around as you never know when you're going to walk out to your vehicle only to see a flat tire. So I decided to invest in a new air compressor but one with all the necessary hoses and accessories. It gives me great peace of mind that I will end up stranded in my garage with a flat tire. I'm very happy with the model I chose especially since it comes with all the necessary accessories. I do wish it had wheels but I couldn't find a model with wheels and all the necessary accessories. To be honest, I kinda get confused with air compressors that don't include all the accessories. I'm not a mechanic so I didn't need a compressor that I would use on a daily basis. This Craftsman model basically has everything I need and it's not too heavy to carry although I don't plan on carrying it anywhere. So I'm giving it a positive review for folks who would like to have an air compressor but kinda get confused by the necessary accessories.Follow up. Today I finally "tested" the air compressor. It worked fine but I was unable to insert the hose and fittings unless the tank was empty. Even when I assembled everything, I found the part that you use to connect to a tire valve was not air tight despite having what I refer to as plumber's tape on the threads. Note that where the hose connects to the air compressor was air tight. So I think I need to use a couple of pliers or wrenches to better tighten the accessories. I did try needle nose pliers but they only helped a little bit. I should mention that it still would fill a flat tire in it's present condition. I also could easily reduce the pressure produced by the air compressor as I believe that would reduce the "leak" at the accessories into the hose. I still recommend this unit as I believe I'll be able to make the accessories more air tight. I should also mention that I have significant arthritis in my hands so perhaps someone without arthritis would not run into the problems I did. One nice accessory is an "air gun" which is strong enough to air clean the floor of the garage by spraying the garage floor to the outside with the garage door open. Just make sure any "lightweight" items are on shelves.

This is a great little air compressor. Does great for a the little garage tasks that I have for it. And being craftsman, I'm sure it'll last a long time. It has decent power for it's size, and is portable enough for when we had to drag it out into the driveway to put a bunch of brad nails into an old camper we have.

The CRAFTSMAN 6-Gallon Pancake Air Compressor (CMEC6150K) is a fantastic tool! It’s lightweight, oil-free, and delivers strong, consistent pressure for various tasks. The 13-piece accessory kit adds great value. Perfect for DIYers and professionals alike—quick setup, quiet operation, and durable. Highly recommend for its performance and portability!
